Weighing The Car, Part Ii

[Shaft]

Hi all,

 

Had a visit from Dan (not-impressed) tonight, the usual really, drinking tea and talking bollox.

Anyway, eventually we got around to talking about the weight of my build so following on from a recent thread regarding the weighing of a

car using the addition of singular or front and rear figures we grabbed the scales and weighed each corner in turn.

 

So then, can the values possibly be right?

 

OSF 98kg

OSR 110kg

NSF 103kg

NSR 108kg

 

So add them up and you get 419kg

Thats with 3/4 tank of fuel and all fluids present??

 

Surely it can't be that light can it??

I dont think so Nick,

 

All you have done is meassure corner weights which is good and the figuers are not bad for a good nuetral handling car,

 

I think it would be a little heavier all together, Although if it is right I'd be very happy.

Did you remember to take the bag of hydrogen out of the drivers footwell & balance the car on two spirit levels whilst checking relative humidity & price of steamed puddings ?

[Guest peter2b2002]

the only way to weigh you car is to have all 4 wheels on scales other wise if you only have one wheel on the scales the other 3 are taking some of the weight from the one being weighed, I think

Or 1 wheel on the scales and the other 3 on blocks the same height as the scales.

 

 

Deja vu ???

It's the same as my missis using the bathroom scales with one foot on the floor, bares no relation to the true weight

If you want to weigh a pie, then

go to somewhere over the rainbow!

and a whaleway station for whales

[fry61]

If it's a round pie -- how do you weight a corner at a time?

[Guest peter2b2002]

no the answer is 7

[steve in stockport]

23,8,1,20

21,20,20,5,18

2,15,12,12,15,3,11,19

[Guest mower man]

agreed Steve the answer is 42 mower man

[Grim]

surely it must be more than 42 by now due to inflation?

[fry61]

Let's have some accuracy on here,Stuart!! The last digit you quoted cannot be "0" as there is no solution to pi; 22/7 always worked for me; 22 pieces of pie for me 7 for you.
